“…Scarce reports on recommended AM species for reforestation [44] mentioned four species (Entrophospora colombiana, Glomus etunicatum, G. clarum, and Scutellospora pellucida) for reforestation in southern Brazil. Our studies lead us to suggest the use of a mixed (Acaulospora, Glomus, and Gigaspora) inoculum according to our research in dry forests [2,3,18,19].…”

“…Additionally, legumes can be inoculated with selected symbionts to improve survival in reforestation programs [3,33]. Since Fabaceae can support rhizobia and both EM and AM, the latter being the most frequent [70], plant performance could be favored by nitrogen (N) uptake, either by direct uptake by AM [71] or by the multiple benefits from AM [72].…”

“…Legume species, chosen to increase the input of N, were interplanted with a second nonlegume species, and with a species of Eucalyptus that tolerates dry conditions (E. camaldulensis) and can be a source of wood for local community use (E. grandis). Details of the original experimental design, sampling, and results are provided by Pagano et al [2,3,18]; we present below a discussion of findings from Brazilian dry forest necessary to place in perspective the importance of reforestation for the present review. Our experimental results provide land managers with information on the AMF occurrence and productivity of the vegetal species tested, which were inoculated with AMF and rhizobia (for legumes), corroborating the use of dual inoculation to improve legume production.…”

“…The following observations were made on naturally regenerating woody Caatinga (remaining of dry deciduous forest), disturbed and reforested sites at the semiarid of Minas Gerais, during 2004-2006. The area was described in Pagano [110] and Pagano et al [2,3,102].…”

“…Several reports on reforestation/afforestation have showed that alternatives to current agricultural practices have resulted in an enhanced interest in agroforestry systems; moreover, reforestation provides restoration of forest ecosystem goods and services, including improved soil fertility and soil structure, which often leads to increased productivity and/or sustainability of the systems [1][2][3].…”

Reforestation provides restoration of forest ecosystem services including improved soil fertility, which leads to increased productivity and/or sustainability of the system. Trees also increase the average carbon stocks providing wood supply for local communities; however, C sequestration strategies highlight tree plantations without considering their full environmental consequences, such as losses in stream flow. The productivity of a site is a consequence of their physical, chemical, and biological properties, resulting in natural fertile soils or adequate managed soils for improved quality. Thus, it is required to know the variations in the properties of land-use systems for adoptability of agroforestry innovations. The choice of agroforestry tree species (highly mycorrhizal dependent plants should be selected) would have great implications for the manipulation of arbuscular mycorrhizas's species. In dry forest, the inevitable consequence of cutting has been the loss of vegetation cover and insufficient scientific information on the capacity to optimize forest recuperation affects agroforestry adoption. To study the biological properties of soils is now of interest; therefore, this paper reviews the literature that has hitherto been published on mycorrhizal interactions for reforestation and points out the use of mycorrhizal technology as one of the alternatives to improve forest products and environmental quality.

To identify why tree growth differs by afforestation type is a matter of prime concern in forestry. A study was conducted to determine why oriental arborvitae (Platycladus orientalis) grows better in the presence of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) than in monoculture. Different types of stands (i.e., monocultures and mixture of black locust and oriental arborvitae, and native grassland as a control) were selected in the Loess Plateau, China. The height and diameter at breast height of each tree species were measured, and soil, shoot, and root samples were sampled. The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) attributes, shoot and root nutrient status, height and diameter of black locust were not influenced by the presence of oriental arborvitae. For oriental arborvitae, however, growing in mixture increased height and diameter and reduced shoot Mn, Ca, and Mg contents, AM fungal spore density, and colonization rate. Major changes in soil properties also occurred, primarily in soil water, NO 3‐N, and available K levels and in soil enzyme activity. The increase in soil water, N, and K availability in the presence of black locust stimulated oriental arborvitae growth, and black locust in the mixed stand seems to suppress the development of AM symbiosis in oriental arborvitae roots, especially the production of AM fungal spores and vesicles, through improving soil water and N levels, thus freeing up carbon to fuel plant growth. Overall, the presence of black locust favored oriental arborvitae growth directly by improving soil water and fertility and indirectly by repressing AM symbiosis in oriental arborvitae roots.
